THE B&B SYSTEM IS JUNK FOR POWER. I installed it and LOST POWER ON THE DYNO on a close to stock car. The more mods,the worse it got. I also lost track times after installing it. Yes the tips look good,but it's not worth it. On my car i gain 30hp when i open my cutout from the b&b. My boy only gaines 4hp opening his cutout over his stock slp center mount cat. This shows how bad the b&b is. Who care how it sounds or how great the tips look if you lose power. If you buy it,you are retarted.

I love your logic...

So as you added mods you kept re-dynoing your car and repeatedly lost power? that makes sense

And people gain plenty more than 4 hp when using cutouts

That's not the first person I've heard about losing power with a B&B.

Well vengeance racing is having a sell on the gmmg. Only so many are available if you decide you want one. I just ordered mine. Good luck with your decision.

All these replies saying B&B doesnt flow well, combined with my own research is steering me in the direction of GMMG. Even though looks are important to me, functionality trumps looks 10 times over. I'll just have to find a nice pair of tips I like.

Will the GMMG mate up to a Pacesetter ORY well? Or will I need to modify it to match the y-pipe?

I love my GMMG through the stock manifolds.

With headers though, prepare for an extremely loud, cackly, and raspy car. I test drove an LS1 with GMMG through gutted cats and it literally gave me a headache within 15 minutes of taking it around the block and on the freeway.
You may need some type of I-Pipe to help quiet down the rasp.
There's a guy on here by the name RedTorched 02 TA and he has done some nice work to quiet his down. However he does have a cam which gives it that deep heavy sound.

Ive seen multiple vehicles gain anywere from 15-30 after opening the cutout on many different setups.. So ur point is? A car i just did long tubes, bellow, lid, ory, tuned ran good threw factory slp ss/exhaust, then put my B&B on it that i sold to him and it picked up even more, and ur telling me it is junk? Like above states, i really like ur logic
